Tear trough refers to the area below your eye where dark circles can often appear. Dark circles are actually caused by hollowing of the tear trough which results in shadows. Dark shadows in this area can make you look tired and aged. Dermal filler tear trough treatment is a great way to help rejuvenate tired eyes by smoothing out dark shadows, hollows and eye bags making you look well rested and youthful.

Dermal filler for tear troughs works by targeting the depressions that run from the nose to the under-eye area. This area of depression can make your eyes look sunken and cast unflattering shadows which are known as dark circles. These dark circles in this area gradually become more noticeable as the skin begins to sag and becomes thinner with age. Dermal filler injected into this area will help to restore the volume lost in this area as well as thickening the skin which will improve the appearance of any dark circles.

Tear Trough

By injecting Dermal Fillers into the tear trough – which extends from your eye to divide your cheek from your lower eyelid – the area can be made to look less hollow while subtly easing dark circles under the eyes. Tear Trough procedures treatments are very specialised and require an experienced hand to perform them, especially since the treatment may not be suitable for everyone. The area under the eyes is assessed before treatment and your nurse or doctor will advise you on whether this is an effective treatment for your case. Those who are eligible will benefit from a fuller and brighter expression that will leave your face looking fresh and rejuvenated.
